He was the 15th President of the United States, serving from 1857-1861. The County lies in the Southwestern part of Virginia, just north of the 37th parallel. Today, its various borders join Pike County, Kentucky, McDowell and Mingo Counties in West Virginia and Dickenson, Russell and Tazewell Counties in Virginia.

town of Grundy.
